The man who acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. The final words that were said at his execution, sent people to the seas.

"My wealth and treasures? If you want it, I'll let you have it. Look for it, I left it all in that place."

Men now, chasing their dreams, head towards the Grand Line.

The world now enters a Great Age of Pirates!

Tone of the Game

One Piece is a whacky, dramatic, fantasy world of epic portions. Where great pirates are the equivalent of Supers, hence why I will be using the 2nd Edition of Mutant & Masterminds and some of its supplement. A flexible point base RPG system. If you can imagine it, it is possible.

The Players

I'm looking for heroic characters that are looking for adventure, treasure, and chasing their dreams. Also, team players, I'm not looking for the lone wolf who can do everything, because, well, you can't. That's why you join a crew.

To apply to this game, before anything, have access to the book. It's very important that you acquire the core book by some means. Next, have a concept. What do you look like? Did you eat a devil fruit? What is your skill set? Do you use a weapon? Do you have a bad sense of direction? Important questions that deserve a well thought out answer. You don't need to make a sheet until you are accepted into the game. Finally, tie it all together with the backstory. Where you came from, who raised you, who taught you what, things like that need to be answered. A well thought out and written backstory can make a big difference. No haki user are permitted at this time.

When one is accepted the rules for character creation will be posted in the game thread.

Crews

There are two active crews. The Pinstripe Pirates lead by Ryan D. "The Suit" Syrus and The Virtuoso Pirates lead by "Visionary" Ree.

Trying out for the position of doctor for the Virtuoso Pirates.Midou Shingo

At first glance, Shingo appears to be a rather tall and frail man. The aura he emits and his stance soon dissuade others of the notion that he is weak, however. His eyes are a piercing amber, and his face is framed by a wild mane of black hair. Over his thin frame he has draped a hooded light brown jacket. On his right hip he has strategically placed a first aid kit. Across his back is a massive spear, appearing ridiculously large on a man of Shingo's build.

Shingo was born on the isle of Unabara in the West Blue. His father ran a small dojo that taught sojutsu, or spear-fighting. As such, much of Shingo's childhood was spent practicing sojutsu and perfecting their familial style, the Sagi no Yari. However, it was from his grandfather that he gained his ambition. Apparently, a long time ago, before Gol D. Roger was even born, their dojo was powerful and respected. Sadly, it began to steadily decline as the number of pirates increased. There were a number of reasons for this. First of all, people began to simply ignore the spear in favor of other, "flashier", weapons, like the sword or the gun. Also, the number of Devil Fruit users rose dramatically, and so, even fewer people looked to the spear as a possible defense. Third, the legendary weapon, the Gae Bolg, was stolen from the head of the family. While they were still a force to be reckoned with, that specific weapon was the focus of their most powerful skills. The greatest fault lay in the clan itself, however. The style had been developed in a time of war as a ferocious art, but afterward, it slowly became gentler. For this very reason, people began to avoid it. His father had basically given up on restoring the family's style to its former glory, but Shingo swore that he would do it.

With the help of his grandfather, he threw himself into learning about the original style, and attempted to recreate it using the scraps of information that they found.Sadly, his grandpa was an old man, and he fell ill when Shingo was 15. Enraged by his helplessness, Shingo ran from their village and went to challenge another dojo, believing that he was ready. He was brutally shown otherwise. After a sound defeat, Shingo returned home and explained to his grandpa what had happened. His grandfather yelled at him for a while, before settling back down and thinking. They realized that there was simply not enough information to rebuild an effective style, and that they would have to create some completely new techniques. At the same time, Shingo's anger found an outlet in helping his grandpa. He threw himself into medical studies with the same passion he held for sojutsu, in hopes of healing his grandpa. In doing so, he completed the second half of his familial style, the mental half. Sagi no Yari's philosophy was that each member had to be a balanced individual, so a mighty weapon master had to be talented in another field as well. As his skill in both medicine and sojutsu increased, he noticed something strange occurring. He began to be able to sense those around him, even without looking. Eventually, he was even able to heal with a touch, though he found himself unbelievably tired afterward. Further research revealed that he possessed the power of Haki, specifically the Guardian's Temperament.

When he turned 20, Shingo decided that he had developed his new style, Myoujin Ryū, to a relatively good level. However, he would need to use the style out in the real world to remove any flaws and to improve its effectiveness. This left him with just two paths, piracy or the Marines. After some thought, he discarded the idea of joining the Marines, as he felt it would be two confining. Piracy would give him the opportunity to test Myoujin Ryū out against weapon masters and martial artists of all types. For the next three years, he traveled from the West Blue to the North Blue, fighting in various dojos and making a name for himself.

The Guardian's Temperament works like other Haki, allowing the user to become more than what they already are. It makes them stronger and faster while at the same time giving them the ability to harm those that they once could not, Logia users. What makes this specific form of haki special, however, is its unique power of healing. Where the King's Disposition allows one to rule, the Guardian's Temperament lets one protect those most dear to them.

- Refine Myoujin Ryū, and make it the most powerful style in all the Blues.
- Find Gae Bolg in order to utilize the advanced techniques of the style
- Become a master surgeon, in order to retain balance in life

Tell me if the creative license I've taken with Haki is okay. I'm just going off the idea that if there's a haki that's perfect for leaders, why shouldn't there be other types for people who have really strong ambitions not related to ruling?

Judai isn't especially tall, but quite muscular and looks larger than he is. He has black hair, usually just short and in a crop, with a small patch of beard on his chin. His eyes are brown and always look stern. He usually wears a blue t-shirt with black horizontal stripes, black shorts and black shorts. On his belt there's a small carpenter's kit with basic tools, such as a hammer, a screwdriver, a small saw and nails.

Judai is the son of a pirate carpenter and a pirate musician. They were both working on the same ship, but the very day Judai was born, the ship wrecked into a small Summer Island. Everyone on board was killed by falling masts, except for Judai and his parents, who were still inside the ship, recovering from the labor. The ship was badly damaged, and the family had to settle on the island, which was apparently uninhabited. They had to live there for a long time, because it took so long to repair the massive ship without much tools, men or a proper harbor. During this time, Judai's father taught him almost everything he knows about carpentry. One day, Judai ate a strange fruit. It gave him the power to control gravity, which allowed him to help with the construction.

When they finally got to leave aboard the ship, another disaster struck the family. The mother caught a deadly disease and died. However, Judai and his father made it to their home town. They lived there for another ten years, practising their craft, until his father died, killed by some enemies of his former pirate crew. The grievous Judai still lives in the town, keeping their old workshop open, but hopes to someday get away and truly get to explore the seas.

Could you organize an adventure where the Pinstripe Pirates get to the island, so I can join them?

Kaju-Kaju no MiWeight-Weight Berry
Judai has eaten the Kaju-Kaju berry, allowing him to control the gravity of small areas and the subjective gravity of objects. This allows him to fly, levitate things and push them into the ground. He can also use his power to add some strength into his punches and keep himself from being blown away.

Judai wants to become stronger, both in body and his Devil Fruit power, while collecting fame in the process. His primary reason for piracy is ambition.
